metaphysics.r Later ho goes on TO show In
detail that II you put to philosophy the ques-
ton, Ia lifc worth living7 the answer consists
In repeating tho question In O more compli-
Gated form. You arc still confronted In the end
with q point OF interrogation. When. on the
contrary. he turned to one or another OF the
physical sciences whose conclusions are
reached by tho Wanted inductive method,
Tolstoi obtained an endless number OF exact
answers TO questions he had not proposed:
about the chemical elements Of the stars and
the planets, about the movement Of the sun
with tho constellation Of Hercules, on the
origin OF species and OF man, about the infinite
ly small and weiehtless particles Of ether: but
tho only answer to his question az TO the mean
ing OF his life was this: You are what you coll
life: that Ia. q temporary and accidental az
glomeration OF particles. The mutual action and
reaction Of these particles on each other has
produced what you call your life. This as-
glomeration will continue during certain
time, then the reciprocal action OF these parti-
clos will cease. and with 1t ends what you call
your life. and all your questions as well. You
are o casually combined lump OF something
The lump undergoes decomposition; this de-
composition men call life; the lump falls
asunder. decomposition ceases. and with 1t oil

far as It tolls US anything which we had not
learned from the preliminary chapters Of My

In vain the oracles Of tho nineteenth century
philosophy. and science, Tolstoi began to study
the life Of the common people Of his country,
and particularly Of the moujik or peasant liv-
ing and filling the ground upon communistic
principles. He found, to his establishment
that religion was vital part Of the life OF the
Russian peasant; and inasmuch as the moujik
knew nothing Of theology, Tolstoi could not but
conclude that Christianity must have some
thing in 1t more efficacious than the dogmas
embodied in official crecds and which his own
reason had rejected. Then 1t was that he be-
gan to study for himself the Gospel narratives

Jesus taught, and, secondly. Of determining
the applicability OF such teachings to human
life The results Of his investigations we need

trade over that for the same period of q

inquiry for what are known as gilt

undoubted quality. Even in such cases,
however, there is a tendency to limit
